This program is a twelve-step program to develop self-sufficient clients. The different elements of the program are: 1. Personal development planning. 2. Vocational development including high school diploma. 3. Substance abuse prevention. 4. Interpersonal skill development. 5. Personal and spiritual development. 6. Community involvement. 7. Creative leisure activities/celebration. 8. Independent living preparation/follow up. Krown Transitional is a men and women facility.
